Adi Subhrahmanya, Kukke Subramanya

Recommended

A visit to Adi Subrahmanya Temple, situated in proximity of Subrahmanya Temple, is 'recommended' to tourists if they have time at hand. Valmmika, referred as an anthill, is placed inside the sanctum of the temple. The prehistoric anthills are prayed in the form of Adisesha and Vasuki. This shrine is bound with beautiful green forests and mountain streams.

As per the folklore, Lord Brahma, known as the cosmic creator, seek permission for constructing his house at the site from Lord Subrahmanya. The place was home of Lord Brahma; however it lost its importance after Lord Yama cursed it. Pilgrims are offered anthills 'mrittika' (earth) as Prasad that is known to cure skin diseases.
